Friday, April 26. 1929 Sinclair Finally To Go To Jail Harry F. Sinclair, the rich oil magnate-thief, has at last been sentenced t0'.50 days in jail. If Sinclair had been a |joor man and stolen and defrauded the government of half as much as Sin clair did, he would have drawn at least 30 years.- One'thing is evidently true —a rich man can keep out of jail for a long time. School Truck Drivers Do school truck drivers use due diligence at all times? During the past two years two Martin County school children have been killed by school trucsk. Perhaps there was no carelessness in either cast', but there may not have been due diligence in either case. A six-year-old school child needs more than ordinary care. He has a different mind and is apt to do the opposite thing from what the grown-up driver would do. ' Every truck transporting such precious cargoes as a load of school children should follow the double rules of safety at every moment from the time a school child begins to enter the truck until he is dis charged from and out of reach of the truck. Many school trucks run too fast and turn corners with too much speed. The New Warehouse The chamber of commerce is taking up the matter of building a warehouse to replace the Brick Ware house, which was burned several weeks ago. A large part of the necesary funds has already been subscribed A meeting has been called for Fri day night at 8:15 at the town hall for the purpose of completing arrangements for the erection of the build ing in good time for the opening of the season Jfl'he people of the community are very much inter ested in the new warehouse, which i;; an absolute ne cessity to the success of the market.. Two prominent ti bacco warehousemen have already made a satisfactory offer for the use of the warehouse during the coming season. The need for every citizen of \\ illiamston and the large surrounding community to attend this meeting is being urged by the chamber of commerce, because it is a community proposition, one affecting every business interest in the sec^D* We must move or the world goes by.

If the Williamston tobacco market grows, somebody * will have to push it, and Williamston folks are thanes to do it. If the meeting tonight is prop erly attended by all of the people who owe some ob ligation to the town, then it will succeed well. No man has the right to swing back in the traces. Let every ope pull, and the load moves on. If some stand back, it will Be hard on those who are trying to do something.^ Three Alternatives for Textile Workers The textile workers' strike in Western Carolina is doubtless a bigger problem than it looks like from a casual glance, which is that a bunch of laborers are not satisfied and their employers are unable to pay more. Set the trouble is much greater than that. It goes back to the very foundation of our history, where we find men in'every strata of life trying improve their condition and, develop greater opportunities for their posterity. Since we have a universal system of edu . cation, we naturally have a much larger fx>pulation demanding a bette? chance in lite than we did when education was sectional and rare. Our business or ganisations are liow so conducted that labor sees no hof>e whatever for an outlet. The lalioring people, almost to a man, are begin ning to se that they are scarcely more than servants, with no outlet for wider and better fields. No doubt they would willingly endure that condition. But the stern fact; facing them is that there will be less ho[>e for their sons and daughter, bringing up a new prob lem. They are not ignorant of the fact that jobs will soon be '•career and wages lower, and that the bonds of economic slavery will tighten on them; and if not 011 them, certainly on their children. They fully realize their economic disadvantages and inability to make terms with the people who hire ijnd pay them. Yet they can not understand why they can not march the streets and proclaim their desire and express a hope for something better. But they aer met by armed soldiers, who beat them back and tell them they have no right to march the streets of the towns which they built. They are clubbed and bayoneted and jailed for trying to organize to better their condition And they have 110 other way, because the voice of one man pleading for better working conditions would make no impression tin the mill owners. There are apparently three things that the textile laborer , of this country may do; one is to give up all hope of ever raising their standard of living and drop back, with their families into a state of |)eonism; or they can starve, or they can be shot by the military. Poor Supporters of, the Law President Hoover struck his highest note when he sai'd obedience to law is one of our greatest needs. In this day it seems that many |>eopie have no sjiect for law of any kind, while others respect some laws and hate others. Some others, like Jesus did, respect and obey all laws. V\e can not have good government without obedience to law, even though we may not like them. One law we d i not like is the tax law, because it seems to lx' unfair and burdensome to some and es pecially favoring others. Vet the man who tries to even up the law to suit himself by making a false re turn is not getting anywhere by breaking the law. Thousands do so, however, and swear to it. Another law which is often broken is 'the liquor law, and lots of folks are always fighting and violat ing that law, but no man improves his morals by breaking the prohibition law, and very few gain fi nancially. When ;:ll will till lawbreakers rise to a knowledge of the fact that every time they break a law they make one more criminal and place themselves against their government, thereby weakening it, many of them will use more diligence and do Ix'tter. The American lieople have good laws, but they are poor supporters of laws. * ' ' - 1 " ■ - Consult us about duPont paints - Jm THERE is a du Pont paint, varnish, enamel or Duco for every surface in your home.

It has proved that hilling tobacco in this way has made a gain from $25 to SSO per acre. For you know: When you side your tobacco the last times the feed roots are cut off, which checks the growth for a few days. During this time new feed roots are formed, which really causes a second growth. This second growth causes your tobac co to grow bony and thin. If the feed roots are not cut off, your tobacco will thicken as it spreads and make a better quality of tobacco. HYMAN WARREN Agent Robersonville N. C. February 20, 1929. Mr. Hyman Warren, Agent, Roberaonville, N. C. Dear sir: I have used the Improved Fowler Cultivator about twelve year* for laying-by tobacco, cotton, corn; and other crop*. Also for hilling up sweet potatoes. I consider it one of the moat useful and satisfactory cultivators I have ever used and would not be without it for many times the price. Yours very truly, J. R.
